A purchased a motoro pup today, looked very healty. Took it home, floated the bag and added a little tank water to the bag. Released the pup

started breathing heavy as soon as a released it and went belly up and death 15 minutes later

tank was plummed into a sump with 6 other 75s so its cycled for sure.

Sounds like something was very off with your water. I've seen this happen with Ph differences, but likely you were dealing with a weaker ray and had something very "wrong" with your water. The way the pup was breathing right after being released usually indicates its the water.

Might be osmotic shock or some other type of shock. I’ve seen something similar happen before to some salvini fry that I bought. Usually it’s because of ph or hardness differences between the stores water and your aquarium water.
